LARA + JULIEN | July 14, 2018

It was a picture perfect day for a wedding on the water.

I had never worked at the Centerport Yacht Clubbefore. I was excited to see this venue since I live in Centerport, only minutes from the club. There were so many areas where I could work with the bride and groom to create beautiful portraits before the ceremony. The grounds of this venue set the tone for a quaint, classy celebration. The views from the front porch, overlooking the harbor is truly a brides dream!

Tis the season… I have had the opportunity to photograph quite a few Mitzvah’s this spring and a bunch of them have been atREFUGE in Farmingdale, NY. This venue always looks so stunning to walk into. The atmosphere is warm and inviting just like the Newfield family! What a great day and Congratulations to Jack on his Bar-Mitzvah. Check out some of the images below.

It was one of the most unique spaces I have shot at yet and one that I will always remember as “perfect in every way”. Not only was the family so nice to work with, Maya the Bat-Mitzvah girl was one of the sweetest 13 yr old’s I have ever met! The theme was NYC so for Maya’s pre-shoot we decided to head where else, NYC! Check out some of the images below.

When my niece Emily asked me to photograph her wedding I was truly honored.

Couples always have their favorite season and Emily & Rich were no exception. When they told me the wedding was January 7th 2016 at Mystic Seaport, in Connecticut, my first thought was maybe we will have an unseasonably mild day. What a great location for outdoor wedding photos!

As we know, having a winter wedding can pose some challenges, but it can also work out for both the winter loving bride & groom and the photographer. Although we did not make it to all the locations I scouted out before the wedding, it couldn’t have been more perfect in every way, even the unexpected snow storm. They couldn’t have been happier.

Last week I photographed a special little girl at the beautiful Greek orthodox Church,St Nicholas in West Babylon. I have had the pleasure of working with this wonderful family a few times. First was the baby shower, then the newborn photo shoot and most recently, the Christening, which was by far the most beautiful baptism I have ever seen. Here are a few images from all 3 milestones that I wanted to share.
